AC Single Stroke Solenoids

Product Information

Looking for a highly dynamic solenoid working with alternating current? Kendrion’s AC Solenoids have extremely fast switching times and high attraction forces. They also have large strokes included in a compact design that results in a smaller sized solenoid over their DC counterpart that would have the same performance. The strokes of the AC Solenoids can be up to 2 inches. With normal operation an AC solenoid has a higher switching power than a DC solenoid due to the significantly shorter switching times. Unlike a DC solenoid that has constant power consumption throughout the complete stroke travel, the power consumption of an AC solenoid is varied by the stroke. Kendrion AC Solenoids are build to minimize buzzing noises in the close position. Some of the common applications for the AC solenoids are in energy technology, safety engineering, machine building and switchgear construction. In these industries there is a need for fast action and is unlikely to be altered mid-stroke.
